How much time is left before every house in Parsippany is either a boarding house or over occupied?
ANSWER: VERY SOON
This problem did not start on Mayor James Barberio’s watch but he has allowed this situation to get much worse. A week after winning the Mayoral election in November 2009, he was quoted in the Star-Ledger that over-occupancy would be his first priority. He should have stated that his first priority would be to run Parsippany into the ground.
Our town has gotten filthier, ordinances are not being enforced and the Planning Board and the Board of Adjustment has allowed every conceivable structure and rezoning to occur.
Examples:
- 32 townhouses in Intervale neighborhood originally zoned single family
- Apartments rezoned from commercial property
- Religious structures in residential neighborhoods etc,etc,etc.
Fellow residents your home property values have decreased and soon will plummet. Residents have said to me that they are afraid to let their children play in their backyards, get their mail and the disrespect from the occupants that live in these over-occupied homes to their neighbors. I want to see action.
The Mayor receives a paycheck and related expenses of approximately $200,000.00 per year.
I requested a meeting with the Mayor the week of Christmas 2015 today is January 19, 2016 and not a phone call from Mayor James Barberio.
